If you are thinking of selling, the smart move is to price for speed, not for ego.
Thinking about putting your home on the market and wondering if you can push the price a little harder? My short answer is yes, but only if you respect how fast homes are actually moving in Sunnyvale, CA, because a typical sale took just 8 days over the previous 30 days and recent offers landed at 107.9% of asking.
The clearest takeaway for sellers is this buyers are still paying up when the home is positioned well. Over the previous 30 days in Sunnyvale, CA, supply stood at 1.76 months, the typical sold price was $1,780,000, and the typical asking price for active homes was $1,471,000. That is not a market for lazy pricing or wishful thinking.
I read that combination as a market that still rewards clean execution. Homes are moving quickly, but the typical sold price slipped 3.2% from the prior month while the typical asking price for active homes was unchanged. In plain English, sellers in Sunnyvale, CA still have leverage, but the market is not handing out trophies for overpricing and hoping the internet does the rest.
Price from strategy, not from flattery. Study the homes that went pending in 2 to 20 days over the previous 3 months and notice how quickly well-positioned listings got attention. Get the prep done before you go live. If your home needs fixes, I would handle those first. If the launch plan is sloppy, buyers will punish it fast.
